Our culture is a combination of ideas. For our history, since we were a colony, historically we have had many ideas and costumers incorporated in our idiosyncrasy: the language, the food, the politician’s order, etc. all things of our culture are from Spain and Europe in general. Spain in first time, France in the nineteen century, and USA in the twenty century to nowadays.
The main characteristic of the Chileans don’t respond to that mixture. All the characteristics of Europe we have changed because the culture received was assimilated to our way, and our way have a little of all, include the pre-Columbian culture.
The Chilean`s identity is very ambiguous. I think we don’t have a identity defined, but we doing efforts for overtake that identity that unite us. The soccer is a example of something that can us unite, but the Chilean`s soccer is weak, the sports in general in Chile are very poor. The writers in Chile are very famous in whole world, but in Chile there aren`t good readers, only a little group of person reader. I think the identity of Chile will develop in the future when the people will be more mature and the culture will be massive and deep.
I think the countries can be nationalistic when they have an identity strong, a tradition cultural and his habitants are informed, but in Chile don’t is it, the roots are superficial. However we can do something to respect. The culture can be developed and the identity can be strong.

ReplyDeletemmmm...maybe you be rigth, but I think that although we don't be conscious of our identity, there it is, is inherent to our
ReplyDeleteI agree that we are a mixture of culture, but I don't belive that exist one countrie that not. The result of this mixture is interesting because we cam see how we are. Today more that yesterday we have more think in comun because the globalitation it try of unify our taste.
